Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:

Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)

Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.

Olivia's post

This is surrender
To a war-torn life I've lived
Scars and stripes forever
In need of change I can't resist

No need to hide anything anymore
Can't return to who I was before

I can finally breathe
Suddenly alive
I can finally move
The world feels revived

This long of a struggle
Finally opened up my eyes
Revolution's not easy
With a Civil War on the inside

No need to hide anything anymore
Can't return to who I was before

I can finally breathe
Suddenly alive
I can finally move
Cause I realize

I can finally breathe
Suddenly alive
I can finally move
The world feels revived

The song "Breathe", By Anberlin reminds me of Sonny and his struggle for people to see who he really was. When he is talking to his brother about his heroin addiction and how he loves music and wants to be a professional Jazz pianist. His brother does not understand and he asks Sonny if he has ever thought about suicide and he says yes sometimes. The line, "no need to hide anything any more" reminds me of this whole situation with his brother because I think Sonny finally realizes that hiding things from his brother isn't a good thing to do even though it hurts him when he talks about it. And When his brother finally sees how good he is at the piano and that he is in his own element, I think the line, "the world feels revived", explains how Sonny is feeling about his brother understanding him.
